Goodguys Columbus Pics

[toddshotrods]

Okay first off, I owe you guy who have been impatiently waiting and apology. For some reason I seem to have forgotten I had a camera on my side for most of the day. The weather broke, in typical Columbus fashion, and turned into a classic hot, steamy, Central Ohio July summer day. Here's what I did manage to snap today. I promise to keep my finger on the trigger more tomorrow and Sunday.

beautiful work, the front of the last car reminds me of the new F150 for some reason

[96z28ss]

there indoors already so is the top 5 already chosen?

[toddshotrods]

there indoors already so is the top 5 already chosen?
They took them inside to choose the Top 5. They went in at 4pm, had 30 mins or so to detail, then everyone got kicked out. The owners could come back to get their cars at 6pm, and were to have them at the Awards area at 8am tomorrow morning. The Top 5 is supposed to be revealed around, or by, noon.

[Ed.Capen]

Goodguys will dot the headlights on the five finalists by noon tomorrow. The five will be brought into the building and the Saturday awards will take place at 5:30pm at which time the winner will be crowned.

Let me say there is alot of really good cars and getting down to five will be hard.

The AutoCross today for the Street Machines proved to us that we need to continue with this as we lost three cars today to coolant leaking and clutch problems. This is where the STREET part of this comes into play.

Fastest time today in the AutoCross was by Phil Gerber in the Chevy II that the Roadster Shop built.

Look forward to seeing the top five tomorrow.

...Fastest time today in the AutoCross was by Phil Gerber in the Chevy II that the Roadster Shop built...
What was his time? Also, what was the fastest vendor time? I saw a 34.??? by the lady in the 2nd-gen F-body, with the big flares, but didn't see the whole session. My nose led me to the SMOTY and SROTY cars after a half dozen or so vendor laps.

[ssx]

I really want to see more pics of the RS 67' Nova...:D

Thanks for the update Ed...I wonder if anyone is getting sleep

[GregWeld]

Ed is "da man"! He don't need no stinkin' sleep!

[toddshotrods]

Dot patrol: If I get this I think I see the SMOY dots on Dragon, Innovator, and the gold Stang so far. There are pink dots on some cars, including Runt, but the yellow ones on the three aformentioned cars say Award Winner. Runt just got that dot. One to go...

[toddshotrods]

Anvil Stang #5

[70rs]

The fabrication on these cars is just over the top crazy. Amazing talent involved. Good luck to everyone. And thanks for taking the time to post the pics!:thumbsup:

Quote "Fastest time today in the AutoCross was by Phil Gerber in the Chevy II that the Roadster Shop built. "

I believe they were edged out by the firebird on the third lap time...at least that is what was announced. Did they get an extra lap for some reason? Of course it doesn't really matter only for bragging rights:thumbsup: Great job to everyone, the autocross was a blast!

[Frankenstine]

last i seen the chick from specter won the vendor class 32 something ? not sure she got edged out, she was fast, i got a ride with Finch, he was fast too, had an awsome time hope it will be good tomorrow.:lateral: :willy:

At the Awards Ceremony he said the fastest time on the AutoCross was 32.something. He wasn't sure and I don't remember his exact words, but think he said .6 or 7 - in that range. He didn't say who but, judging by the runs I saw her make, I would bet on it being her. She's pretty badazz.

[toddshotrods]

Here's what I have. I didn't edit anything, I didn't spend much time sorting out good from bad. I also don't stick my camera inside people's cars for interior and engine compartment shots - I cringe every time I see someone do that! :_paranoid

Great pics Todd! Thanks for sharing!

Great pics Todd! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Greg, it was my pleasure. The quality may have been a little better if I had experimented with the settings, and paid more attention to where the sun was, but it was too hot and there were too many people. I also kept forgetting to clean my screen, and often had to work blind through my own fingerprints. I'm taking these with a little 12mp Nikon pocket camera, on auto and letting it make the decisions. See an opening in the gawkers - snap! :D

It's going to be in the low 90s today, with typical Ohio humidity, and no wind, plus there are air quality alerts for the entire Central Ohio region. All you old geezers better bring your O2! Wait, at my age, with my allergies, that means me! :lol:

Thanks for reinforcing the very reasons (heat, humidity) why I've choosen NOT to attend this show each year that I think about it.

The weather here is beautiful -- wish you were..... :rofl: :rofl:


RE: Camera

I still quote the line Steve Rupp used when someone asked about what's the best camera.... His response: "The one you have with you".

So true!

[ALLSPEED01]

At the Awards Ceremony he said the fastest time on the AutoCross was 32.something. He wasn't sure and I don't remember his exact words, but think ojhe said .6 or 7 - in that range. He didn't say who but, judging by the runs I saw her make, I would bet on it being her. She's pretty badazz.

Yeah your right. 32 something overall. I was referring to the fastest time out of the smoy contenders. What a blast! First
time I have driven an autocross. Now im hooked and ready to build a shop car and see if I can hang with the big boys...and girls!

[toddshotrods]

Thanks for reinforcing the very reasons (heat, humidity) why I've choosen NOT to attend this show each year that I think about it...
It wasn't that bad. The weather guy was right about the heat, humidity, and air quality, but wrong about the wind. There was a nice little breeze blowing most of the time (which is common here) that helped. Once you get acclimated to the climate, the sights and sounds around you make it all better. There are also plenty of shady places to hide, and air conditioned buildings to retreat to. Trust me, it's worth it. This show is pretty special. Something about 6000+ hot rods, tens of thousands of people, hundreds of vendors, and some of the very best cars in the nation in attendance, and being beat on mercilessly around an AutoCross course... I have to see if I snapped a pic, but one of the things that stood out to me the most today was the Runt's front wheels literally covered in brake dust! :yes: :thumbsup:

I watched the Vendors' AutoCross Eliminations today - fun, fun, fun! Mad Mike Meyers (sp?) won in a blue 1st gen Mustang. He also had the fast time of the day 32.245, IIRC. The Pozzis and the Tuckers faced off against each other (wives against husbands) in the second round. Mary and Kyle won, then Kyle beat Mary in the semi final round -Mike had a bye. Kyle won the Rock, Paper, Scissors competition and chose to go second, but Mike put a number on the board Kyle couldn't match. Mary probably would have been in the final, but she clipped a cone in the semi final (1 sec penalty). I'm an old drag racer, but this crap got under my skin today! I gotta play this game... :cool:

Yep, almost into the 31s from what I heard today. The were pushing hard to get there but no one made it there (31.###).

I hear ya, on the hooked part! :thumbsup:

Thanks, I'm enjoying sharing them. Typed in present tense, because.... there are a few more from today. :)

An old familiar face was back - didn't catch what award it won this year. I was getting an elephant ear to take home for a friend when it rolled acroos the auditorium. Anyone have the info?

I have street rod pics from the three days, but posted the street machines because that's what you guys and gals get off on around here. If you want to see the street rods, I am more than happy to post them. I wasn't really into the SROY field this year (nice cars, just not quite my cup of tea) so I probably took more of full-bodied cars this time.

Amazing pics Todd! Id love to see the street rod pictures! maybe make a separate post of them and leave all the pro touring pics in this thread?

Thanks again!

[toddshotrods]

Again, my pleasure guys! I wish I had taken more. I should have been snapping away like crazy at everything good, but I was too busy enjoying the atmosphere. There were some awesome cars here this year, but it was the whole scene that really got me. It's like getting sucked into your TV into a Disney movie where hot rods rule the Earth! :lol: I posted on my FB page (from the event) that I must have died, because I was in Heaven! :hail:

Todd,

Do you happen to know the following:

1. What won Street Rod of the Year?

2. What Builders were represented in SROY?

3. Did Goodguys do anything there regarding the late Barry Lobeck?

Thanks. Spent a lot of time with Barry over the years in the Marriot Parking Lot!!!

Todd,

Do you happen to know the following:

1. What won Street Rod of the Year?...
A yellow Ford coupe, I think it was a 32. Honestly, I don't get how it won. Not to take anything away from anyone's hard work, but there were a couple other coupes there that.... Just my worthless opinion though. :rolleyes:


...2. What Builders were represented in SROY?...
Sorry, I wasn't really paying attention to the SROY field, even though it's more my cup of tea. I know one of them (that I would have picked for the winner or the next runner-up) was built by Johnson's Hot Rod Shop. The other one was a black and green coupe. I don't know who the builder was. IIRC, the Hupp car I have pics of in the other thread was in the Top 5. Can't recall the last one?


...3. Did Goodguys do anything there regarding the late Barry Lobeck?...
He was remembered. I heard his name a couple/few times mentioned and credited for his contributions to the hobby/industry. Not sure if there was anything specific or tangible done in his memory.

Thanks, glad you liked them. Where did you see a pic of the yellow 32? Also, you said "one of the Johnson cars", was there more than one JHR car in the Top 5, or in the SROY field? The black JHR 32 I took pictures of was there last year, and back again this year, but I don't think it was entered in the SROY contest. There was a nice coupe that they said was built at JHR, during the SROY/SMOY awards ceremony.

Here's the SROY winner (http://kruzinusa.com/blog-entry/ponygirl/big-gets-bigger), and Innovator (SMOY). Still looking for pics of the SROY Top 5.

I cant remember where i saw the yellow 32 pics. Johnson build 2 32's recently One was a dark green 3w and the other was black 5w. I heard they were both there?

I'm a little fuzzy on this, so I could be wrong, but I think the black one was in the Top 5 - not sure about the green one? Anyone remember? There was also a black and (very dark) green 3 or 5 window in the Top 5, that I liked. I was sure either it or the (blk?) JHR car was going to win. They just seemed to be a cut above the rest (IMHO). I can remember their positions in the line-up (inside the building) and even hear some of the interviews in my head, but can't really picture any of the cars clearly. The SMOY Top 5, on the other hand, is burned in my memory - cars, line-up, colors, builders (except the gold Stang?), etc. That's weird for me, because I typically do the exact opposite (street rods stick, street machines fade). I can remember the winners of SMOY for the past three years, but very few of the Top 5's (without looking at my pics). That's not taking anything away from the builders and the other cars, because I remember there were some awesome cars - just not really my cup of tea in my old age. :lol:

You can see the build pictures for this years SROY on
http://www.fastlanerodshop.com/

You can appreciated perhaps why it won when you see some of the build pics.

Thia is the 3rd SROY for Dave. That;s a tremendous accomplishment! I don't think anybody else can say that. He builds some great cars.

I really dont know who was in the top five for sure. I wasnt there sadly. Next year will be my first time! :thumbsup:

We did the interior in one of the top 5 cars this year, black and green 5w. Very nice car
